Our body is a valuable resource that can help us expand our creativity and the depth of our relationships. This reality can feel scary, but it is actually a beautiful opportunity for creativity and deeply meaningful relationships. Carlene relies on diverse modalities and life experiences to help folks access this innate wisdom to deepen their erotic and intimate connections with themselves and others. It is her passion to facilitate the personal growth and evolution that arises naturally in this context.
